The shadow 2

Haechi hearing the shadow last word paused for a very long time, true all this years he has neglected Yuri, at first it was because he was in love with Asuka, but after Asuka left him to choose his brother because she saw nobody being safe around him, he has neglected Yuri even when he started developing feelings for her because he thinks she won't really be safe around him, he thinks one day he might end up hurting her, he was thinking to do the police work a couple of years and end up marrying her if he remains normal and if she is still single.

"seems you really know all about me" Haechi who finally found his voice said with a smile that was clearly forced.

"I have lived in your body for fifteen years, even when you tried to suppress me I still existed, sometime I got all active cause I think you have been the most pitiful, being afraid of yourself, being alone and leaving on a sake and cigarette to put up a tough front," the shadow said.

"Are you really death emissary?" Haechi asked being surprised to hear all this from the shadow.

"Of course I am, I think just like you I got soft too," The shadow said before Haechi hear it burst out laughing.

"We are both really pitiful, I have always wanted to take control but now, an opportunity to take control is fast approaching and I want to stop it, am I not really pitiful," the shadow added.

"You know it will be great you being all the heartless monster I made contract with, I found you being weird now" Haechi said with a forced smile.

"yeah it will be great, it will be great being the one to control but then for the first time I gained someone to share a memory with and share most things with for the first time fifteen years ago, you humans call that friend, I got weird after noticing it is time for that one friend to slowly die within for me to take over" The shadow said as it went over to sat at a corner in the room.

Seeing it like that, Haechi tried smiling.

"I won't hold a grudge against you if I die, I was the one that failed to keep the contract all this years, it is your opportunity now" Haechi said.

Hearing Haechi, the shadow that was looking down looked up as both of them stared down at each other.

"I can't do that," The shadow said as it stood up walking towards Haechi.

"Let's work out something together, for Yuri" it said as it stretch forth his hands towards Haechi.

"okay, for Yuri" Haechi said as he raised his hands holding that of the shadow.

"Sure , for Yuri," The shadow said.

"So what are we working out" Haechi said.

"we take up a bounty work, you won't want to kill any random person and I need blood to rewrite the contract, I plan to use the blood of the victims to start rewriting the contract slowly, I tried suggesting that early to secretly help without letting you know immediately I noticed what was about to happen but you refused, at most I would have been forced to completely take over your body tomorrow," The shadow said.

"I always know it will all still be killing" Haechi said with a wry smile.

"we need it to rewrite the contract, it is one way to slowly do that without me making you think you are killing innocent people, fifty people was killed to make the contract in the first place, fifty is need to rewrite it again, we go hunting people on bounty one by one to make up the number or we just commit a mass murder rewriting it all at once," the shadow said.

"I have always think I don't have much to lose but then I think I do, I have Yuri to lose, let's go do it, we are death emissary anyway" Haechi said as a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"okay let me show you my new upgrades, I was on the verge of leveling up the last time when you started suppressing me" The shadow said as it walked towards the katana, turning into a wisp of smoke and entering into the katana.

Immediately after entering into the katana, the writings that was on it changed to black color instead of the formal red it was before slowly dispersing into wisp of black smoke and heading towards Haechi who didn't bulge but watch as it came slowly entering into his body.

"So what happened now," Haechi said seeing that nothing happened after the black wisp of smoke entered his body but then a voice sounded from his mind.

"I made it convenient for you to go around with katana without carrying it on you, raise your hands and draw your katana out from your palms,": The voice of the shadow said within Haechi's mind.

"Thought you leveled up to an interesting killing skill, who really want a convenient way of carrying a katana instead of a convenient way of killing" Haechi said with as he tried what the shadow voice said within his mind slowly drawing out a bloody red katana that has blood dripping out of it.

"Isn't it cool" The shadow voice sounded.

"It is, I might as well die from blood loss before I rewrite the contract, how do you put it back?" Haechi asked as he heard the shadow laughing from inside.

"you naturally slide it back in just like you brought it out" The shadow voice sounded.

"Oh, I found nothing convenient about this" Haechi said as he slide back in the katana.

"I think this might be one of the reason I don't want to take control, this brings back old time memory when we were still newly bonded, you always complaining but still doing it" The shadow voice sounded.

"Just shut up" Haechi said.

"okay but welcome back partner, it wasn't that fun you trying to suppress me, just like you am pitiful too" The shadow voice sounded with a bit emotion.

"Let's work well this time," Haechi said as he stood up from the bed to head outside the inn.

After Haechi came downstairs, he headed to the Inn attendant directly.

"I will be out for some time, keep my room out of new customers," Haechi said as he turned to leave.

"Okay sir" The Inn attendant answered as Haechi walked out the inn.

"So where to?" the shadows head morphed out of Haechi's shoulder asking Haechi the next step .

"locating people with bounty" Haechi said as he continued walking forward.
